Single phase polycrystalline samples of BaTi1−xAlxO3, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.015, have been prepared by a conventional powder processing method. The Rietveld refinements of X- ray powder diffraction patterns at room temperature indicate that the samples crystallize in tetragonal structure with group symmetry P4mm. Because of the oxygen vacancies, the volume of the unit cell increases with increasing x. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed that the particle size of pure BTO ceramics was affected by the Al content. Dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of pure BTO as well as Al-doped BTO were studied. It was found that the dielectric permittivity (ε′) increases significantly with increasing x while the transition from ferroelectric phase to a paraelectric phase changes slightly. The Curie-Weiss law is verified over a wide temperature range. Both ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of BTO are enhanced by the substitution of Ti4+ by Al3+ ions. Piezoelectric strains of Al-doped BTO showed a suitable behavior for application compared with that of pure BTO compound. Finally, the results obtained in this work are discussed and compared with those for similar materials
